The moss is also macroscopically easily recognizable, since the flanks are divided in the lower part to 1/3 in 2 triangular lobes and in the upper part, however, are completely rounded. The liverwort grows on low-limbed, moderately acidic to neutral, moist, partially shaded locations. It inhabits rotten, fresh coniferous or hardwood, is also found on dead plant remains, rocks.
